MISTAKEN CONTEMPORARY.

We regret to note the fact that our e.
tssned contemporary, the Helena indie
pendent, is departing from it's broad and
comprehensive policy Of promoting the
Territorial interests to a sectional line oi
setion which forebodes no good to the
general welfare. Following some severe
reflections Of late on leading citizens oil
Bette and GIFTS natural ally, Bozeman, the
Independent is inspired by it's evil genius to
print the following in regard to the Board
Of Trade here:
The Butte Board ofTrade which was to have
taught Helena several lessons in enterprise and
public spirit. did not organize. On the evening
that It was to have organized at the Silver Bow

important enterprises in which they were en-
gagged At that hour, to iii all the offices in the
board, and 30 the matter was dropped. The
Silver Bow club has q board Of trustees, a chess.
board and several loose boards in the floor, but
II will never have . Board Of Trade.
Now the TACT is that this is false. The
Butte Board OF Trade is an assured fact.

half OF . night was devoted to securing the
best board Of directors that could be had
among our representative men, and the
names selected, as published in yesterdays

future success OF the organization. Next

Butte proposes to support the board
and not characterize the organization as
only good for banquet occasions, as the In

Helena Board.
